i purchased my ipod on ebay and at first some guy tried to rip me off but i went thru my credit card company and was fully reimbursed. the second time i tried i was succesful. most savy buyers will know a too good to be true deal and avoid them. do your home work a little on the person or persons selling and you will avoid most pitfalls.

Just make sure the auction doesn’t say something like “You are not bidding on the item for xx.xxx price, but rather a link where you COULD get it for that price.” These are the scams.

Ok, here’s the thing though - they’re not all scams.

My roomate spent 12 dollars on an auction claiming to give him information on how to get an XBox for $45.

The information worked. It was a long process, but it worked.

And here’s the kicker - it also got me my 10 GB iPod for about $75 dollars. No joke. Took about two months to get it, from the day I started the process to the day I recieved it.

they brought up the point cost for the ipod, it was 12000, now its 14000 and now they are missing some of the big point deals, so itll be harder to do so now

These are all Scams listed above. There is no such thing as something for only a few bucks. ALL SCAMS…

Correct you are, Scam Man. The only thing I am sure of is that even though tim fitz and ranova are morons, there are more morons behind them to push them up to the top of the “pyramid”

These are the guys you’ll see on the news 20 years from now, buying $10,000 of magazines so they’ll win Publisher’s Clearinghouse.

Actually, I’ve used the freegiftplanet thing as well, and didn’t pay one single dollar for the things I got. I got a Gameboy Advance SP and a set of Logitech speakers. Totally legit, the sight works exactly how they say they do. The rest, the matrix stuff are scams for sure.

you all are overly skeptical. i’m NOT a moron. i’d be happy to take a picture of my ipod, and my roomate’s xbox. we got them from freegiftplanet.com.

basically what it is is these sites are betting that if you sign up for stuff that is free but with a time-limit (After which it automatically becomes stupidly expensive if you don’t cancel first), a certain percentage of people will forget to cancell and they will make obscene profits as a result. the people who are smart and beat the system are taking some of the profit made by people who allow the system to beat them.

READ THE EFFIN FORUM LINKS I POSTED, MANY HAVE TRIED, and guess what? ALL have recieved or are waiting

The links i posted ARE NOT pyramidmatrix schemes… you sign up for free trials and you get points, redeem points, and get a gift… simple as that

However, as they say “Nothing is Free”... those points earning websites DO work, but it’ll cost you both MONEY ($75) and TIME (about 2 months worth of work, spending about 5 hours a week keeping track of your points).

actually, everything I’ve gotten from freegiftplanet.com has been completely free. I mean, I didn’t pay anything. If you really want to know how, I can tell you. And it only took me a few hours, instead of months. Within one week, I got a Gameboy and a set of Logitech speakers. Again, all free.

For a 15 gig, yeah it might cost more, since you have to sign up for those big point items. But, if you use a certain technique for paying for those items, then it won’t cost you a dime.
